This comes as the national team is set to play against the Wallabies at the DHL Stadium on Saturday, 23 August.
The Sexy Boys leader – who owns the Belhar Rugby and Football Club – is accused of operating a drug cartel in the city.

JEROME AND JOE BOOYSEN’S CONTROVERSIAL PAST
Jerome and Joel Booysen – who appeared at the Springbok training camp this week – are no strangers to controversy.
Joel is currently facing murder charges for the death of Cape Town “Steroid King”, Brian Wainstein.
In 2023, the nightclub owner – who was pals with the late AKA or Kiernan Forbes – survived two attempted hits, reportedly from rival gangs.
His dad, Jerome, aka “Donkie,” is a childhood rugby star and is known as the leader of the Sexy Boys gang alongside his brothers Colin and Michael. He is also a businessman with interests particularly in real estate.
The gang is accused of dealing in drugs and ordering the alleged hits of rivals.
